I agree with the above "rulings" as long as you are comfortable with the fielder's intent or lack of it.
Personally, I would make the rule such that a intentional carry to stop a runner is a live ball, with the runner protected for at least two bases.  |
How can you have a live ball when it is in the possession of a player in DBT?
